The FENSA sites seem to be written a bit like CORGI

Do you really need FENSA when installing replacement windows
If you want to sell, and the buyer's solicitor is on the ball, yes
Not even convinced that is really a problem. Yes they will ask (its on
the standard forms), but if you tick the "none" or "lost" boxes I can't
see it causing major issues with most buyers.


At worst it will be a bargaining point for a price reduction. Which is
probably more significant at the moment that it would be at more bullish
times.


Since the FENSA thing is quite recent - how would a buyer know when the
windows were installed?


Cos the seller is supposed to tell em (and there is a date stamp on many
sealed units!)
